Jimmy Buffett’s hit fans of 1977 and the song that inspired it could have a special reason to celebrate today: Margarita National Day has arrived.
Rojo and the refinery are among the many restaurants in Birmingham, watching the national special affairs of Margarita and invitations to social media.
National Margarita Day dates back to 2008 according to patrontequila.com. “Like most other food holidays, Margarita National Day is an unofficial holiday as it is not sanctioned by the government. Founded by a commercial real estate agent Todd McCala around 2008, the day was created simply to share his love for Margaritas and to encourage a more complex evaluation of the drink, “the site notes.

“On February 22, we are gathering for National Margarita Day to pay tribute to our favorite holiday cocktail,” says NationalToy.com.
NationalToy.com covers what turns out to be one of the many myths of creation around Margarita’s invention.
“Margarita – Triple Sect, Tequila and Lime Juice – was created in 1938 in Mexico and is widely considered the official beverage of fun,” according to the website. “It’s 5 o’clock somewhere around and it’s never more true than on Margarita National Day. So remove the shaker, remove your frozen Margarita machine, or head to the local watering hole and order margarita. Above, on ice or on the rocks, you can’t go wrong. Salud! “
A specific version of this story, as noted in Wikipedia, includes the drink “Invented in 1938 by Carlos Danny Erera at his restaurant Rancho La Gloria, halfway between Tijuana and Rosarito, Baja California, created for the client and former Ziegfeld Dancer Marjorie King, which was allergic to many spirits but not of Tequila. “
Wikipedia notes that the story has been debunked many years later.
However, the creation of the legendary cocktail has a number of stories of origin, some of them are related to color margarita – also known in English as a daisy.
“The daisy was a common cocktail of the one -size era, combining basic spirit, juice, sweetener and water with soda,” according to the history of Paste magazine from 2016, “It is supposed that smugglers who control the beverages above the border with Mexico experiment with Tequila Margarita one night, calling it Margarita, who is Spanish for Daisy. “
Wherever the drink comes from, Rojo, the national holiday means a dollar of all Margarita and $ 5 of steels on the cocktail.
In the refinery, their classic, spicy and strawberry margaritas are $ 10 a day.
The Daysoftheyear.com website offers a warning and a little news for those who are too young to drink.
“Friendly note: Be careful as Tequila is known to t’kill’ya if you drink too much (or at least it can make you want to be dead). So it’s best to know where the boundaries are. The good news is that Virgin Margarita drinks (with Limey-Uniony aroma, but without alcohol) can be consumed at a much less risk. This is also an excellent option for those who have to work on Margarita National Day, but they would still like to celebrate with a cocktail for lunch (or layout). “
